Default Transmission or clutch/master cylinder?

Drove about 35 miles on the highway in the firebird, when i exited i went to put it into neutral but it felt harder than normal. Come to a stop at the light and then it wont go into first or second and starts to grind, i put it into third and get it rolling. Got to where we were going and Turned the car off and it will go into 1-5 fine however reverse is really difficult and then finally when i feel it move far enough over to go into reverse it feels like its about to brake. let it set for a few hours started it up and wouldnt go into reverse while the car is on turn the car off and got it to go i limped it to the gas station and Checked the clutch master cylinder and topped it off and it feels fine no grinding or issues getting it in or out of gear.

here is what the fluid looks like

Update.... drove the car a few miles today and it feels fine and no issues however if the car is off i can not move it far enough over to get it into reverse, once i start the car it goes into reverse without any issues

Getting it into reverse requires the reverse solenoid. If something is wrong without, sounds like transmission not clutch.
